More Background While Debating
Labels:

I was pretty tired last night so I did a little more background, trying to move down the right side of the canvas and fill in the background from the Rabbit Geisha's waist to her feet and beyond.
While doing all this, I've been wondering just what stitch to use for the tunic part of her kimono. I am going to test stitch this Tony Minieri stitch tonight but it occurred to me that I really need to pick threads first.

The weight of the threads used, plus whether the filling stitches are beads or metallic threds, is going to change the look a lot. Guess I need to do a lot of test stitching. I might stick with the Mandarin Floss I'm using for the bottom skirt or choose a new thread altogether. Haven't decided.
You can see why I am doing background while I think this all over!

Well, where is the picture of the background?
No pictures today. My progress doesn't look like much progress and I don't do photos then. I'm always afraid of running out of space for photos on Blog and limit photos where there is nothing to see.
